Superb Dutch Bible map covering the region between the Mediterranean and the Persian Gulf, featuring the Garden of Eden. Strapwork title cartouche flanked by scenes of Eve offering Adam the apple, and the expulsion from the Garden of Eden. A lovely, decorative map. Expert strengthening of marginal folds and repair of marginal tears. Very fine old coloring.
